Did you KNOW ... that you can use old FILE FOLDERS in lieu of tags - same clay coated surface that works so well for blending. Be creative. You don't HAVE to buy something new, just IMPROVISE!!! Use a cereal box in lieu of grunge paper - the grey side. All that money you save means more money for STAMPS. And, it's the good kind of GREEN! Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Blog Candy and a Guest Designer Call

In case you don't know what Blog Candy is, it's free stuff! And it's called candy, because well... free stamping and scrapping goodies is SWEEEET.

I have been cleaning out our back room - there was some flooding with today's storm (fun, fun, fun) and I have a bunch of goodies to give away. They are not damaged or anything, I just realized ... wow ... these would be much better off on someone's page or project!

This being said, I have rub ons, stickers, and other various goodies to give away, in addition to some of our 1st Birthday Celebration packages. I also have some stamps I would love to send to a good, caring home.

Simply comment to this post and let us know how you learned about Croppinsville. If you have a blog, you can link to our BLOG CANDY offer on your blog. If you do this, be sure to put your blog in with your comments. If I see something about us on your blog, I'll make sure you get at least SOMETHING!

We have lots of goodies - so we may do it random, we may give everyone something, you never know ... so pass on the good news to all your scrappin' and stampin' pals.

On to the Guest Designer Call... Have you created something simply fabulous with Graphic 45, Tim Holtz products, Wendy Vecchi stamps or Creative Cafe products? Are you willing to provide a tutorial or info so everyone can learn how to do it? Send us a pic or slide show link with a project list and instructions (preferrably using materials we have available at Croppinsville). If your project is one of those picked, we'll give you FULL bragging rights, feature you on our blog, and a voucher or gift card so you can get the goodies you REALLY want and deserve! We hope to have a Guest Designer featured each week. Send your info to littleowlstudio@gmail.com. I look forward to seeing everybody's creations.

Next Friday, I will post ALL the blogs that participated, and announce all the winners. Be sure to stop back by and see if you've won.

Good luck and Happy Crafting!


THANKS FOR PLAYING / CONTEST CLOSED - I am late with posting the winners - I will have them up this afternoon.

Hi Allie -- it's me, Sally, in France!
I just discovered your blog (mentioned on another blog I browse), and so am writing a comment straight away . . . perhaps you send blog candy to Europe???!!!
I was so thrilled with the goodies I received in my package very recently -- am playing with all of them these days.
